SUMMARY:Franco-American Women's Project: Borders and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Registration is available now!\n\nCourse Description\nFran
 co-American Women's Project: Borders and Beyond\nThis course will exam
 ine the intersection of the past, present and future texts, in compari
 son/contrast with writings that cross borders and go beyond the border
 s. Through various mediums, the course will explore the expression of 
 the self, the imagination, the geography, the crossing of oceans, the 
 past events that continue into the future--time and space measured by 
 texts and contexts of literature and story. A world within a world—v
 isibility of presence outside of the mainstream focus: What constitute
 s story of a cultural group such as the Franco-American women? Métis 
 women? Francophone women of color? Does an event cease to happen in it
 s own time, or does it effect the future generations with each new exa
 mination of the event and its representation? Do stories relate and in
 ter-relate, weaving complexities across texts, back to the original an
 d newly fashioned genres? Where is the future generation's literary, l
 egacy bound? What does the absence of presence of the French women mea
 n in the area of Ethnic or Women’s Studies in many areas of publicat
 ion such as anthologies, textbooks and more? Borders, boundaries, time
 , space, texts, contexts, events, and the future of literatures will b
 e examined through the lens of FrancoAmerican/Métis/Francophone women
  of color, women-defined, examination of writings and more. Texts, pla
 ys, film, music, artifacts, etc. will be some of the mediums explored 
 in this course. The course will be writing intensive, students will co
 nduct original research, and publish final projects online.\nTo regist
